sheep ...

i love this picture ... it almost looks like the sheep are being kept safe by invisible means ... even though there is a frosty storm overtaking the rest of the land, they are safe and secure ... totally at rest - not even aware of any danger ...

My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them away from me, for my Father has given them to me, and he is more powerful than anyone else. No one can snatch them from the Father’s hand.
~John 10: 27-29

What an amazing picture! I'm glad our heavenly Father keeps us safe and watchs us constantly. I need his love and guidance. I'm getting ready to end my day. I must go blow out the candle in the living room and turn out all the lights. My menfolk just go to bed or fall asleep...carefree...grin. Hey, I love 'em...what can I say. I'm the pampered stay at home person...its the least I can do to turn out the lights. *hugs* Hope all is well as can be right now for you & your hubby.

Oh my, that has got to be one of the most gorgeous photos of sheep I've ever seen.

I often feel like a sheep wandering around without a clue. I'm thankful for our Good Shepherd; His rod and His staff they comfort me. :-)

Just checking in to see what you're up too. If I wasn't so sleepy I'd write you! I finally got switched over to the new blogger and all is well...I've been so leary of doing it. In fact...the old blogger was so slow to function...I wondor I didn't suspect...maybe they did that on purpose to goad slow-pokes like me to switch. Happy week-end to you and your sister...have fun!

Hi, I'm Sara's mom and I do love that picture! It speaks so loudly to me about how much our heavenly Father cares for us - it's awesome.
What a beautiful post - thank you!
